J.K. Rowling says her seventh Harry Potter book will be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
("Hallows" is an old word for holy people. It is now used only as part of Halloween, the name of the night before All Saints' Day. In the first book, Harry's parents were killed on Halloween.)
Ms. Rowling put this news on her website. But readers had to play a game before they learned the title.
